#Requires -Version 2.0 <# .SYNOPSIS This script will programatically set the sageset values for cleanmgr and clean the computer using the settings defined herein. .DESCRIPTION Settings are taken from Windows 7 SP1, 8.1, and 10. The way the settings are applied should allow this script to work on any Windows version. .PARAMETER NoSettings This parameter will not write any changes to the registry. It will attempt to clean the computer using existing SageSet values in the registry. If the SageSetNumber doesn't already have cleanup items defined for it, this script simply won't clean anything. .PARAMETER NoCleaning Will only make changes to the registry and will not clean the computer with those settings. Note: You may want to also use -KeepSettings, otherwise the settings will be created then deleted .PARAMETER DeleteSettings Will remove the registry settings after cleaning. This option implies -NoCleaning .PARAMETER User This will clean files in the user space (not necessarily related to the currently logged in user) .PARAMETER System This will clean files in the system space .PARAMETER WindowsUpdate This will clean files related to Windows Update and Windows Upgrade (but not previous versions) .PARAMETER WindowsPreviousVersions This will clean files related to previous versions of Windows. This will prevent the computer from reverting back to an earlier version of Windows .PARAMETER Invasive This will clean files that could impact system functionality. Such as Windows ESD Installation files - removing these prevents Windows 10 from being able to Refresh or Reset .PARAMETER Misc This will clean files that don't fit into the other categories .PARAMETER All This will clean files in all categories .PARAMETER iTunesBackups This will remove any iTunes backups from each user's profile .PARAMETER OlderThan Parameter for iTunesBackups`n`rThis is the number of days back to delete iTunes backups. For example: Specifying '-OlderThan 30' will delete all iTunes backups that have not been modified in 30 days .INPUTS This script does not accept any input from the pipeline. .OUTPUTS This script produces no output. .NOTES This script requires an administrative token because it writes to HKLM. .LINK https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/315246/how-to-automate-the-disk-cleanup-tool-in-windows-xp-and-windows-7 #> param ( [switch]$NoSettings, [switch]$NoCleaning, [switch]$DeleteSettings, [switch]$User, [switch]$System, [switch]$WindowsUpdate, [switch]$WindowsPreviousVersions, [switch]$Invasive, [switch]$Misc, [switch]$All, [switch]$iTunesBackups, [int]$OlderThan=0 ) ## DeleteSettings implies NoCleaning If ( $DeleteSettings ) { $NoCleaning = $true } ## Below is series of hash tables containing all the settings that can be cleaned in each grouping ## To stop an item from being cleaned, simply set it's value to $false ## The comments above each setting include the setting's display name and description in cleanmgr ## Important Note: There are more cleaning options available in the registry ## but for the sake of time, safety, and Microsoft's documentation, I've mostly included the ones listed in the cleanmgr.exe GUI ## Each list of configuration items will have a variable above it for that list's SageSetNumber ## This number will be used to clean the items in the corresponding list ## This number can be anything between 1 and 65535 ## These items likely fall within the 'user space' but are not necessarily related to the currently logged in user $UserItemsSageSetNumber = 10100 $UserItems = @{ ## Display Name: Downloaded Program Files ## Description: Downloaded Program Files are ActiveX controls and Java applets downloaded automatically from the ## Internet when you view certain pages.
